Java serialization is one way to implement this, however, despite its simplicity of implementation, it has several drawbacks:

- **Performance:**
Java's built-in serialization mechanism is often slower compared to other serialization solutions.
This is due to Java's use of reflection and the need to maintain a lot of metadata.

- **Size of Serialized Data:**

### Java Toolchain

The Gradle build uses [Java Toolchain](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/toolchains.html) support to compile and execute tests across multiple versions of Java.

Available JDKs on your machine are automatically detected and wired for the various compile and test tasks.
Some tests require multiple JDKs to be installed on your computer, be aware of this if you make changes related to anything toolchains related.

        if (StringUtil.isBlank(getPluginVersionFilter())) {
            pattern = Pattern.compile("^" + Pattern.quote(ComponentUtil.getSystemHelper().getProductVersion()) + ".*");
        } else {
            pattern = Pattern.compile(getPluginVersionFilter());
        }
        return pattern.matcher(version).matches();
    }
